Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Elgin, IA.

One kind of payment assistance that some drug treatment facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will need to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Elgin earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further financial help to afford the discounted fee. Admissions staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client completes rehab.
